Ellis Paul - Hurricane Angel
A Summer Night In Georgia: Live From Eddie's Attic
Intro:  C   Am   F  C,  C   Am   F  G,  Am   C   F  C,  Am   C   F   C  G  
COn the day the Amlevee broke
The Fwater did rise, The Cflowers did choke 
I Csat in my living room, Amtook one last toke 
Then I Fwatched it all drift Gaway 
Now my Amcredit card's Cringing up at Fthirty percent 
There's a Amman in CIndia Fwondering where the money went 
But CI Gcan't Fpay 
So I Csat on my roof In AmLake Pontchartrain 
Singing Fwoe to my chimney Singing Cwoe to the rain
A Cstranger came by I Amnever caught his name 
He Fsaid he's rowing to the Rio GGrande 
AmAir Force COne a blue Fstreak in the sky
Mr. AmPresident, CYou can't Fafford to lie
Cause CI can't Gafford to Fpay
Hurricane CAngAmel I'm lifting my Feyes over Baton CRouge 
CLift up your wings let me Amhear your voice singing 
Can you Fturn these black skies to Gblue again? 
I'm Amlaying on the Cfloor of a Ftrailer at night 
with Amsixteen Crefugees Fwaiting on daylight 
CI Gcan't Fpay 
I caught a Cflatbed ford up to AmBaton Rouge 
with four Fworn out souls and one cCorkscrew
You can Cdrown New Orleans but you Amcan't drown the blues
so Fbartender pour Gaway 
AmExxon's Chaving one Fhell of a year
Amthree bucks a Cgallon man they're Fmaking it clear 
that CI Gcan't Fpay. 
Middle:  C   Am   F  C,  C   Am   F  G,  Am   C   F  C,  Am   C   F   C  G  
CLord, FLord, AmLord
We haven't Fspoken in many a Cday 
I Cgot myself in trouble Amdown in the Ninth Ward 
thought FI'd send a prayer your Gway 
AmOn my Cwindowsill's FA stack of insurance bills 
AmA man in CDelaware Fsays I can't have the pills 
Cuntil GI can Fpay 
Hurricane CAngAmel I'm lifting my Feyes over Baton CRouge 
CLift up your wings let me Amhear your voice singing 
Can you Fturn these black skies to Gblue again? 
I'm Amlaying on the Cfloor of a Ftrailer at night 
with Amsixteen Crefugees Fwaiting on daylight 
CI Gcan't Fpay 
CSomebody Gshould Fpay 
COn the day the Amlevee broke 
The Fwater did rise and the Cflowers did choke 
I Csat in my living room, Amtook one last toke 
and I Fwatched it all drift Caway
